Super Sad True Love Story by Gary Shteyngart is a satirical dystopian novel with many complex, interesting characters. While everyone in the society has their flaws – namely the obsession with youth, attractiveness, and technology that seems to run through them all – the characters have characteristics that we can all resonate with, as was the purpose the author intended. In this novel, I found myself relating the most to Sally, Eunice’s sister. While a minor background character, her political activism and care for the one’s she loves sincerely resonated with me.

“The first thing Violand saw was a gun, then the gunman, ‘I quickly dove under a desk, ’he recalled, ‘that was the desk I chose to die under.’ “(Maraniss). While the U.S. constitution says Americans have the right to bear arms, firearms continue to threaten our schools, work and religious areas. Regardless of the danger that guns possess some states have passed a bill to allow campus carry, which grants professors and college students the choice to carry a firearm on college or university campuses. Although, we have seen the amount of influence that firearms have caused in the past a good amount of public still supports the claim that guns are a reasonable source of protection. However, while many in favor of campus carry view it as a safety precaution, campus carry should not be allowed because there is no evidence that proves campus carry will keep students safer and carrying a concealed weapon can distract from the learning environment.

Obviously "love" is not a measurable thing; you can't test our blood for love levels, you can’t test whether or not we feel love and how we feel it. You can’t time love – it can come completely inconvenient and shatter your whole world. It can take all from a moment to a few hours or days or weeks to months to fall in love. Love is an uncertain size and we can never really know how, when and who we will fall in love with. Or can we? Can we decide whom we want to fall for and when?

The theme of destructive love within relationships in shakespeare’s Macbeth and Bronte’s Wuthering Heights are presented through sexism, jealousy, and betrayal. This three factors are the main causes of broken relationships and arguments between the partners. A good example would be the stories of Shakespeare’s Macbeth and Wuthering Heights. Sexism, jealousy, and betrayal can also lead to death in a destructive love. Love can be defined as an attraction of feelings, states, and attitudes that ranges from interpersonal affection to pleasure.

I have come from a well-meaning but very scarring, ambivalent and dysfunctional family. My father was a sometimes physically, but often times very emotionally abusive person. Using a large amount of fear and intimidation of him to control our family and home. My mother regularly took out her anger and frustration towards my father on me since my parent’s first major separation when I was seven years old which in conjunction with the negative impact of my parents’ off and on separations leading up to their eventual divorce I developed depression, anger and other behavioral problems as well. I suffered many years of abuse from my mother as a result of these things. I understood both my parents cared for me, even though their actions often time both demonstrated it and contradicted it which lead to much confusion in relationships and friendships outside of my family. One of if not the most scarring experiences were of my mother and the adults she surrounded herself with sympathizing her abuse towards me because of the abuse she endured by my father and

The environment that I grew up in at home was very hostile. When I was growing up, I was always surrounded by domestic violence, and verbal abuse. Both my family and my home were always filled with so much sadness, pain, and fear. My home was no longer a safe haven where I could escape distress, but instead a place that I had dreaded and feared. Since I had constantly lived with domestic violence, my mother would always walk around the house with gashes on her face and bruises all over her body, but she would somehow manage to get through the excruciating pain. Until one day, when I got the most horrific news that I have ever received in my entire life. Both my mother and my stepfather were both victims of a fatal car accident. Although, always

In 2006 my parents had sat my younger brother and I down to talk to us. They looked so serious, my mother was crying and I was scared. They told us they were going to get a divorce. I didn’t understand why because they were happy together and they still loved each other, they even told us that while they were

It is obvious that life is not easy and every normal person faces events that they struggle with. One huge event changed everything at such a young age and the effects of one major decision will forever impact my life. When I was only two years old, my parents decided to divorce because they were not compatible for one another. With myself being so young at the time, I did not comprehend what was happening until I grew up more but, little did I know my life would change so much. About a year after my parent’s divorce, they both got remarried and I had a step mom and step dad. Since I was so young I considered both to be another set of parents to me. My step mom had another daughter who I got to grow up with. We always have gotten along and even now we are very close. My

Devastated, I ran to my room gushing my eyes out. All these emotions going through my head of how my life would be without my parents in the same room or even house. From what I remember it all started about mid-June, the weeks before that were crucial. My parents would always argue over how to deal with a situation between me and my brother, Skyler. They hardly spoke to one another, but when they did they would just start bickering. I remember, one night after dinner they both went into ''their'' room with the door locked yelling at one another. Skyler and I didn’t know what to do, so we went downstairs and tried to figure out what was going to happen. With a scared tone I asked if mom and dad were going to get a divorce?" He answered back '' No, they love each other, they wouldn’t do that to us." That following night, was a school night everything was quiet except for my crying. I couldn’t sleep; all I was thinking about how it's going to affect my family.

“Hey dad, how I was work?” I asked. “It was fine.” He answered, but it seemed like he wasn’t even paying attention. “Is something wrong dad?” I asked. My dad chose not to answer me and just focus on the laptop that was in front of him. All he did for an hour was sit at the table with his laptop and stared at it. I thought it was weird for him to be acting like this, but I didn’t think much of it because I thought that he was doing stuff for work. After a couple of minutes I left my dad alone to go see what my mom was up to and I saw that she looked upset too. “Hey mom, are you okay? Why is dad acting weird too?” I asked her, but she went from being upset to yelling at me to get out of her way. I thought she was being a bitch at the time, but I thought she was stressed out about all the family members coming over to the house. I tried giving my parents, their space until the rest of my family showed up so I just went to my room to relax. After an hour I started to hear screaming and yelling coming from the halls. I came out of my room to see where the yelling was coming from and it turned out it was coming from my parents’ room. At this point, I knew something bad was happening.

Why this has to affect me so much? Did I change in some way? Why don’t I feel the same way that I just to feel before this started happening? Why didn’t I just ask them “why”? Did I become shy because of that? Did I fail in something? Am I a bad child for my dad? Am I a bad friend? Do I trust people? Why did they have to break all their promises? Did I do something wrong?. All of this question came to my mind when I was younger and I still have the same questions right now. I don’t trust no one because of this, this kinda affected me because I felt pain in my heart because all the promises that my dad, my friends and other people made to me, it was kinda sad to know that someone you love has betrayed me so bad, they messed up my childhood, they messed up part of my childhood, my childhood was made of promises, promises that didn’t come true, all of those promises went to the trashcan.
